Sealey SM150D 150mm Metal Cut Off Saw

The Sealey SM150D Metal Cut Off Saw is a compact 150mm abrasive saw. It is built for semi-professional metalworking. It cuts bar, pipe, angle iron and box section. It is small enough to carry from job to job.

What can it cut? At 90 degrees you get 27mm bar and Ø32mm pipe. Angle iron goes to 25mm. Box section goes to 27 x 27mm. Set the mitring vice to 45 degrees and bar reaches 30mm. Pipe stays at Ø32mm.

A 610W motor spins the disc at 9000rpm on a 230V supply. The whole saw weighs just 4.8kg and has an integral carry handle. The pressed steel base and saw arm keep it steady. A dead man's trigger stops accidental starts. Full guarding covers the disc.

Spare discs are the PTC/150C abrasive type. The Sealey manufacturer warranty covers manufacturing defects. This is a light, fully guarded saw for fabricators and fitters who need clean metal cuts away from the main workshop.

An abrasive saw cuts with a bonded grinding disc rather than teeth. At 9000rpm the 150mm disc wears away the metal as it passes through. A 610W motor is modest but suits bar and pipe at this size. The low 4.8kg weight comes from the pressed steel base and arm. The mitring vice holds the work still so the angle stays true. Because the disc wears, spare PTC/150C discs are a normal running cost.

Keep the guard in place. Clamp the work in the mitring vice before you cut. The dead man's trigger only runs while you hold it so keep your hand on it for the whole cut. Wear eye protection and ear defenders. Stand to the side of the disc. Never use a cracked or worn disc. Let the disc stop before you put the saw down.
